Chamber Of Commerce News Notes The Chamber of Commerce reports auto plates sold for the week ending at noon Saturday, Feb. 12, as follows: 1,645 auto, 532 private trucks, 72 farm trucks, 51 trailers, three motor Burley Growers To Vote On Acres, Poundage Issue Burley tobacco growers will vote March 10 on whether they want to use acreage - poundage quotas in marketing their 1966, 1967 and 1968 crops, Clint Eg gers, chairman of the Watauga County Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Commit tee, announced last week. The new program is author ized by tobacco legislation en acted last year. Farmers eligible to vote in the referendum are all those 18 years of age or old er who engaged in the produc tion of the 1965 burley tobacco crop. Growers approved burley to bacco marketing quotas on an acreage basis in February 1965, when 89 per cent of the ballots favored the quotas. These quotas will remain in effect if the new acreage-poundage quotas are not approved; in this case, 1966 farm allotments not protected by minimum provisions will be 15 per cent smaller than in 1965. If more than two-thirds of the growers voting approve the acreage - poundage quotas, they will become effective. Chairman Eggers explained that excessive supplies of bur ley tobacco have accumulated in recent years because of sub stantial increases in yields per acre, with some resultant loss of quality in the tobacco pro r duced. During the five years, 1956-60, burley yields averaged 1,620 pounds per acre. During the most recent years, 1963-65, yields averaged about 2,150 pounds per acre, an increase of about one-third. Tobacco grow ers have demonstrated their willingness to maintain a sound program and now recognize the need for some modification of the program. According to the chairman, farm operators will receive an official notice before the refer endum showing the farm’s new acreage allotment and pound age quota as well as the acreage allotted under the program now in effect. The new allotment and poundage quota will be based on the new national marketing quota of 625 million pounds and the acreage allot ment of 304,878 acres, recently announced by the Secretary of Agriculture. Under the old acre age allotment program, the acreage available for allotment in 1966 will be 243,854 acres. The. acreage^allotted^ in 1965 was 286,000 acres. Any ques tions about a farm allotment or quota should be taken up im mediately with the ASC County Committee. Under the acreage-poundage method, the farm acreage allot ment will be about 6 percent larger than in 1965, since the poundage quotas (the amount— plus 20 percent for 1966 and 10 percent in subsequent years —which may be marketed free of penalty) will provide protec tion against excessive market ings. Each farmer can thus aim at producing high-quality tobac co without losing part of his share of the market to other farmers who strive for high per acre yields at the expense of quality. If the farm’s acreage allotment produces less than the poundage quota, the farmer can carry over the unused part of the quota from one year to the next Price support in 1966 will be available on marketings equal to 12h. percent of the farm’s poundage quota (and on 110 percent in subsequent years) if the farms harvested acreage is within the new acre age allotment. Tobacco men have painted out that sales and exports should be increased and producer income boosted under the new program because of the improved quality of the tobacco crop. Production costs should be lower because of less concentrated efforts to increase yields, and supplies of burley tobacco should be in better balance, thus reducing costs to the government SECOND TIRE When you buy the first at price listed below Turnpike Proved Goodyear All-Weather “42” 6.70x15 IT ft Tube-type blackwall 11.72 Keene net Vt ftlCI 5.86 6.70x15 Tube-type whitewall 14.18 7.09 7.50x14 6.70x15 Tubeless blackwall 15.40 7.70 7.50x14 6.70x15 Tubeless whitewall 17.88 834 8.00x14 Tubeless blackwall 19.12 8.00x14 Tubeless whitewall 21.58 AH prices plus tax 9.56 10.79 NO TRADE-IN NFFnrn • The only low-priced tin with extra mileage Tufiyn rubber • Extra strong triple-tempered S-T nylon cord • Free mounting NO MONEY D0WN...*1» WEEKLY BUYS A PAIR!
